Iran’s Own Drone Design Is Now Bombing Iran by MiGFlug Team | Apr 10, 2026 | Military Aviation, News | 0 comments
Share this story Somewhere in the CENTCOM operating area, a low-cost drone lifts off a catapult rail and heads toward an Iranian target. It looks almost identical to the Shahed-136 — the kamikaze drone Iran has been mass-producing and exporting for years. But this one carries American markings. It was built in Arizona. And it costs $35,000. The Low-Cost Uncrewed Combat Attack System — LUCAS — is America's reverse-engineered copy of Iran's most prolific weapon. In February 2026, it saw its first confirmed combat use against Iranian forces. By April, a former Pentagon official was calling it "indispensable." The irony writes itself: the United States is now bombing Iran with a clone of Iran's own drone. This is what modern warfare looks like. Steal the design. Improve it. Send it back. Quick Facts
LUCAS is America's reverse-engineered copy of Iran's Shahed-136 kamikaze drone. Built by Arizona firm SpektreWorks and costing roughly $35,000 each, it keeps the Shahed's delta-wing, propeller-driven layout but is far lighter. It saw its first confirmed combat use against Iranian forces in February 2026.
The Shahed-136 is a HESA-built Iranian kamikaze, or one-way attack, drone that Iran has mass-produced and exported for years. Its simple, low-cost delta-wing design made it one of the most prolific weapons of recent conflicts and the template for America's LUCAS, as well as many cheap attack drones elsewhere.
Each LUCAS costs about $35,000 — a fraction of the price of a conventional missile or manned strike. That low cost is the whole point: it lets the U.S. field large numbers of expendable attack low-cost drones rather than relying on scarce, expensive munitions.
LUCAS keeps the Shahed's basic shape but is dramatically lighter — 81.5 kilograms versus the Shahed's 200. It measures about 3 metres long and 2.5 metres wide, has a range of 444 nautical miles with roughly six hours of endurance, and a ceiling near 15,000 feet.
LUCAS saw its first confirmed combat use in February 2026, against Iranian forces, operated by Task Force Scorpion Strike within CENTCOM. By April a former Pentagon official described the system as 'indispensable.'
LUCAS is built by SpektreWorks, an Arizona-based firm specializing in unmanned systems. After U.S. forces captured an intact Shahed-136, SpektreWorks disassembled it, studied every component and developed the lighter, improved FLM-136, later designated LUCAS.
Cheap one-way attack drones deliver mass at very low cost, letting forces saturate defences without risking pilots or expensive missiles. The same logic drives Ukraine's use of cheap attack drones, and it is why captured designs like the Shahed are now copied and improved worldwide.
